15. Essentially the losers of the Cuba revolution

Not personally losers (many I'm sure are nice people), but the ruling class etc... was targeted and fled to the US. Those that didn't feel threatened or supported the over-turn stayed. So, we in the US have a confirmation bias. Those that hate and want Cuba regime change are the Cuban immigrants here in the US already.

Would we want to see regime chance? Well, certainly from old US morality and standards, yes. Is the current regime in Cuba any different than what Trump wants in the US? No. Would Trump install a pro-democracy pro-people regime? probably not. He hasn't done this in Venezuela or Iran. He doesn't seem to give a shit about Ukraine or Taiwan. Thus, pro-democracy Cubans should beware of Trump's Cuban plans.
